Hey, I realised while playing around with these for my next zine that since I'd left the hidden widgets that store the colour unlocked, it's possibly to inadvertently click them and change the colour. I've made updated versions of both contraptions that fix this (sorry I haven't included the anchor changes - but if you want to fix this in your own version you literally just need to open the contraption and lock the widgets)
Colour text:
